Aug 3-5Edible Hats join #Farmopolis

I'll be bringing Edible Hats to an exciting new experimental project, Farmopolis. A Thames jetty has become a leafy oasis providing sanctuary for ex-Chelsea Flower Show plants and weary Londoners. We'll be running workshops for kids to create their own salad hat and also pirate gardening sessions where people can 'mint' their own seed coin.

Starlings uncollected from the Murmuration will fly again- heading for the sanctuary of Bristol's Botanical Garden's glasshouses...

June 2015A Bristol Murmuration!

Extremely pleased to hear that my proposal to create a mass Murmuration of ceramic birds for the Bristol Green Capital has been chosen. What a fantastic opportunity to take part, working with the people of Henleaze, Stoke Bishop & Westbury-on-Trym to create something which will have impact and scale.

The proposal was a response to a recent decline in the starling population and their once familiar Bristol spectacle. The next 3 months are going to be busy organising public workshops, enabling as many people as possible to create their own ceramic bird and contribute to the final celebratory procession and installation.

May 2016St. Werburghs Primary School

I led a clay sculpture session for parents and children as one of their many exciting options for their annual play day. Lots of takers and some fantastic sea creatures produced- total absorption!

Always a slightly surreal activity, these 2 sketches were done in 10mins but seemed to capture a certain something ...

Half the work produced. Quite a job identifying which piece belonged to which group...
